Question 1

What is the maximum meso drop rate I can achieve?

Accepted Answer

In Reboot servers, you can achieve up to 120% meso drop rate from equipment. Combined with buffs like Wealth Acquisition Potion (+20%), Legion coupon (+50%), and familiars (+30%), you can reach over 220% total meso drop rate during optimal farming sessions.

Question 2

Which maps are best for meso farming?

Accepted Answer

The best maps depend on your level and server. Popular choices include Lachelein Chicken Festival (200+), Arcana Spirit Savanna (210+), and Cernium Burning maps (230+). Higher level maps generally provide better base meso per kill but require stronger characters to farm efficiently.

Question 3

How do I get meso drop rate on my equipment?

Accepted Answer

Meso drop rate can be obtained through potential lines on equipment. Look for 'Meso obtained +X%' lines when cubing your gear. Accessories like rings, pendants, and face/eye accessories are popular choices for meso gear since they don't impact your damage as much.

Question 4

What's the difference between meso farming in Reboot vs Regular servers?

Accepted Answer

Reboot servers have higher base meso drop rates and can obtain meso drop rate on equipment, making farming more viable. Regular servers have lower base rates but can sell items for meso through trading. Reboot players rely heavily on farming, while Regular server players often focus on item trading.

Question 5

How important are familiars for meso farming?

Accepted Answer

Familiars with meso drop rate lines (typically 15-30%) are extremely valuable for farming. Big Spider familiar is particularly sought after. However, familiar systems can be complex and expensive to optimize, so they're often considered an end-game farming enhancement.

Question 6

Should I use a Kanna for meso farming?

Accepted Answer

Kanna has historically been the best meso farming class due to Kishin's spawn rate increase and good mobbing skills. However, Nexon has made changes to Kishin over time. Other classes with good mobbing and survivability can also be effective farmers, especially with proper funding.

Question 7

What level should I start serious meso farming?

Accepted Answer

Most players start serious meso farming around level 200+ when they can access Arcane River maps. However, you can farm earlier at maps like Mysterious Path 3 (MP3) or other popular training spots. The key is finding a balance between exp gain and meso income.

Question 8

How do Legion and Link Skills affect meso farming?

Accepted Answer

Legion provides meso drop rate bonuses and wealth coupons. Link skills like Phantom's meso drop rate and Demon Avenger's damage can improve farming efficiency. A well-developed Legion board can significantly boost your farming rates through various bonuses and coupons.

Question 9

Is it worth farming during 2x meso events?

Accepted Answer

2x meso events effectively double your farming rates, making them the best time to farm intensively. Many players save their wealth potions and coupons specifically for these events to maximize their gains during the limited time period.

Question 10

How do I optimize my farming rotation?

Accepted Answer

Focus on maximizing kills per minute while minimizing movement. Learn the most efficient skill rotations for your class, position yourself to hit the most monsters, and minimize time spent looting. Some players use pets with auto-loot to improve efficiency.
